Today we say goodbye to an entire decade that apparently no one still knows what to call. But that’s in the past! The future is finally here in 2010 (”Twenty-ten” is the Maven approved translation). So friends lets forge ahead into a new year filled with hover boards, hover cars, and anything else we can make hover. And what better way to move ahead into 2010 then to just turn right back around again and take another look back at the best of 2009! So for the tens of devoted blog followers we proudly bring you our 2009 Top Tens:

Every year Doritos launches their “Crash the Superbowl” contest. Entrants submit a 30 second spot and the top 3 will be aired during this years Superbowl. Given that we’re all so amazingly talented and good looking we thought it would only be fair to the other contestants that we shoot, edit, and submit our spot all in less than 48 hours and for less than $48.

It was only a matter of time before Maven started getting some publicity from the #1 Sports Network in the world… sort of. Our good friend and client, Kyle Korver (professional NBA player with the Utah Jazz) was featured along with his teammate, Deron Williams, on ESPN’s First Take!

Chris and JP let you in on another secret of the trade in the latest installment of How’d Day Do Dat? This time they’ll let you know how they made the Maven logo out of…. ice! They describe their perfected creation like this…”it’s almost like water that is frozen that you can see though.”

So it seems not a day goes by without someone stopping me and asking, “Chris how do I get so ripped and be like you?” or they plead, “Chris please show me your secret to being so super jacked and awesome! Here’s a thousand dollar bill.” Well today, with these imaginary people in mind, I’ve decided to share one of my powerful keys to shredded-ness.

Something strange happens to me when I hear Katy Perry. I can’t help but dance. I can’t help but love her catchy shallow pop tunes, they just get my heart rate up a few notches. I just didn’t realize that it had the same effect on Ryan and Jake.

Maven was on the look out for some professional voice over talent to be used in a video we’re currently filming. This Nordic warrior of a man dropped by the office and gave us all he had…unfortunately that wasn’t enough.

Tomorrow will be breaking into the year 2009, and the time has finally come. You have suffered through the “professional” opinions of Paste Magazine and scoffed at the suggestions of NPR. You’ve been waiting for a “Best of 2008 List,” that actually carries some weight… well my friend, you will wait no longer. Without further hesitation, I give you Maven’s Top 10 Albums and Movies from 2008.

The Maven Family would like to wish a very Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Ryan, Alastair, and Jake would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas by ruining one of your favorite holiday songs.

What we can’t accomplish with natural talent we make up for with good intentions and embarrassing efforts. The later of which makes for much more interesting blog posts.

Trashketball is a national pastime here at the Maven office. In this rare video appearance Jake attempts one the greatest levels of difficulty known to the Trashketball community..the double bank shot! She is a fickle lady. Many men have lost their fortunes on her charms and promises of Trashketball infamy. Can Jake be the first to overcome certain ridicule and tame this elusive minx?
